Documentation for ido-mode is not very enlightening |

This is the text of a bug which I filed against Ubuntu originally.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs22/+bug/180130
The Ubuntu emacs22 maintainer suggested I report it here instead.
Sorry if this ends up with duplicates or something.
Here's the documentation string for the function "ido-mode":
ido-mode is a variable defined in `ido.el'.
Its value is nil
Documentation:
Determines for which functional group (buffer and files) ido behavior
should be enabled. The following values are possible:
- `buffer': Turn only on ido buffer behavior (switching, killing,
displaying...)
- `file': Turn only on ido file behavior (finding, writing, inserting...)
- `both': Turn on ido buffer and file behavior.
- `nil': Turn off any ido switching.
Setting this variable directly does not take effect;
use either M-x customize or the function `ido-mode'.
You can customize this variable.
[back]
Browsing the source file ido.el (provided you have the elisp source
package installed) reveals a lengthy commentary about what this mode
does and how to invoke it .... in comments. It would be beneficial if
this description could be available directly or indirectly as
user-accessible documentation.
